What does this look like? A dump?

Standing in the kitchen this morning, I look out and find this:

Yes. 6 cement trucks were lined up to dump and wash their trucks on the lot next to us. I guess driving up 50 feet to the designed area was just too hard.

Super Bowl 2009

Now that we have a man cave, I guess that means that we are on deck for a super bowl viewing parties. We gave it our best shot this past weekend. So much fun to have all our close friends and family in to see our progress. I can't believe it has been 30 days since we have been in!

Up and at 'em!

For those of you that really, really know me you know that I like to sleep in on the weekends. I don't think of this is an unusual habit of mine, but I am finding that sleeping in has become almost non-existent these days. I may wake up early, but it is short-lived as I can always fall back asleep. Well, this is not the case if you live with John. Oh no, we, in his words, "got to go, got to go, got to get up and moving!" even if it is 7:30AM on Saturday. I am hoping that he was so eager to use power tools this past weekend to cut off some dead branches that there will not be a repeat performance this coming weekend or any weekend for that matter. For those that are wondering - yes, daylight savings in the fall is my favorite day of the year!

JP's Man Cave has come alive!

It is here...it is finally here. Now, if we could just figure out how to use the fancy new remote control. Fortunately, we have John's dad on speed dial :)

Pool table for Gordie...

John's uncle, Goride, emailed us this past weekend with grave concern, "Where is the pool table located in the new house?" Gordie, and his wife (John's aunt), Bonnie, live just outside of Chicago plays in a pool league almost daily. So when Goride and Bonnie come for a visit, it is important, understandably, that he keep up his skills. After all, we wouldn't want him to return home to his buddies and be out of "shape"! Sooo... Goride, these pictures are for you! The room, located upstairs across from John's "man cave", is still in the works, but we do know that the pool table will stay where it is and is ready for your next visit.

Speaker's Installed ...

And the man cave installation begins....

Annie feels jipped ...

My friend, Annie, feels jipped. She feels like she has been a loyal blog reader and now that we are in the house I have stopped posting pictures. I tell her it is because it is not ready for pictures as we don't have everything in its place and I am still moving things around. She doesn't like that answer. So just for you, Annie, here is a picture of our fridge. It is new and I can tell you that it is in its place and will not be moved. The wine on top of the fridge ... we'll I can't guarentee that that will stay!
